This tour offered diverse experiences. Bangalore Lalbagh Garden and Vidhana Soudha were enjoyable. Mysore Palace and Brindavan Gardens were impressive. Nagarhole safari allowed elephant and deer sightings. Wayanad and Ooty were scenic. Coonoor tea estates were charming. Cochin sightseeing and Kathakali dance were culturally enriching. Houseboat stay in Alleppey was relaxing. Some hotels were average, and long drives were tiring. Guides were friendly. Overall, it was a memorable trip with a good service.Show more

Our Karnataka-Kerala tour was enjoyable overall. Bangalore sightseeing was pleasant, Lalbagh Botanical Garden serene, and Bull Temple impressive. Mysore Palace and Chamundi Hills were grand, while Brindavan Gardens fountain show was mesmerizing. Nagarhole safari offered wildlife sightings, though tigers were elusive. Wayanad and Ooty were scenic, with rolling hills and waterfalls. Heritage sites and Kathakali performance were fascinating. Houseboat stay in Alleppey was amazing. Some hotel rooms lacked modern amenities, but guides were helpful, and the itinerary was well-organized.Show more

Good places, some accommodation wasn’t the best, or in the best places. The guides in Bangalore , not need. We can dump ourselves in a botanical garden.we’ve would have like to see ISKCON TEMPLE , but we ran out of time seeing uninteresting things. National park and safaris, excellent couldn’t fault, but in Mysore our guide tried to push us in with other tourist and not buy our ticket and pocket the money. Our boat in Allepy was dirty and tired, food was difficult for my vegetarian husband. Kochi was fantastic , great hotel but probably would have preferred a home stay in fort kochi. So some bits good some not so good. However , Amit was excellent at getting back to us and helping to sort out problems.Show more

The tour is mindful and lovingly designed. It would be better to give the enumerated sights at each location as options to then avoid disappointment in shooting days. An Indian SIM card, to be able to coordinate with the agent in case of ambiguity, is an absolute MUST! Because local drivers and day guides can arrange idiosyncratic changes for their personal benefit. This didn't happen very often, but the phone SIM card was worth its weight in gold and the agent (Amit) in New Delhi was wonderful!Show more
